If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a magazine or how crazy my personal life is, be sure to read the behind-the-scenes peek at the daily trials and tribulations of running True West. Culled straight from my Franklin Daytimer, it contains actual journal entries, laid out raw and uncensored. Some of it is enlightening. Much of it is embarrassing, but all of it is painfully true.

On The Road With Father Bell

June 17, 2016
Thinking about my father today. Thankful for all he gave me. He loved road trips and he passed that on to me, and both my kids, in turn, love the road as well, so that is a blessing, to me. He was truly a man of the road, and as I say in my book, he was The 66 Kid.

And, we have a new father visiting with us, that would be this guy:

He and his lovely bride Amy flew in from Thailand this week and we went over to Grandma Betty's yesterday so she could meet her great granddaughter:

Harper's mother is an amazing cook and I got a total treat this morning:

About Me

Bob Boze Bell's work has appeared in Arizona Highways, Playboy, National Lampoon, the Arizona Republic and True West magazine.
For ten years (2002-20012) he did a video version of True West Moments which ran on the Westerns Channel.
BBB can currently be seen on the series "Gunslingers" which runs on the American Heroes Channel.
Triple B is also the President and executive editor of True West magazine, positions he has held since 1999.
He has written a dozen books on Old West characters like Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Wild Bill Hickok and a three-part series (so far) on Classic Gunfights which appear in True West. These popular, heavily illustrated books have sold over 90,000 copies, so far.
In 2014 he published a visual memoir of growing up on Route 66 called "The 66 Kid," and he is currently working on a bio of Geronimo.
As for retirement, BBB says, "Work is only work if you'd rather be someplace else. And I'm exactly where I want to be."
